Oh, what's their plan for how to get new senior civil servants
hire apparatchiks, poltroons and idiots. Simples!
Can't wait to see how this overlaps with the other story that keeps on rolling (like a burning cybertruck doing 50 through a school zone) out of the UK. You won't even need to bother designing wildly non-representative surveys of the parents of trans kids anymore. Imagine the efficiency!
@dgerard and then Microsoft increases the subscription fee before the Government discovers that chatbots can't replace so many civil servants
I want to downvote this so bad
What's up with UK recently? They have a faschist + hipster government too?
It’s the usual “uninspiring right-centrist doesn’t understand why they were elected, implements a bunch of stupid policies that don’t improve things for anyone but some consultants and donors, hands country over to frothing far-right shithead” cycle.
@MonkderVierte @dgerard 46 unbroken years of fanatical neoliberalism have landed us here. We're so fucked
My pocket take: the chickens from 45 years of effective neoliberalism coming home to roost, coupled with Brexit hangover, has led the reactionary elements of UK society to retreat to rancid culture war positions
